I feel like screaming today for a variety of reasons. No Twilight Trivia on Twitter tonight, but here is a selection of screams from the three Twilight Saga films. There are ten total screams in the sound clip. Identify 1) the film; 2) the scene 3) the character that is screaming.

The player with the most correct answers will win a set of two Edward/Jacob New Moon Hallmark cards and a package of Hallmark New Moon stickers.

Also, there is a "Pirates Rules" question. Submit a link to you favorite Twilight parody or comedy video that mentions Twilight. My favorite video, especially if it's one I have not seen before, will win a Breaking Dawn Entertainment Weekly with Edward and Bella on the cover. If you have one already, it will make a nice gift!

You can play by submitting the form below or by emailing your answers to twilidiot@twilidiot.com. The game closes at midnight mountain time on Tuesday (2 a.m. ET Wednesday).

Congratulations to @tracish for being the only entrant to answer all 10 questions correctly and winner of the Amazon $10 gift card. I would suggest downloading any of The Twilight Saga soundtracks or scores you might not have already.

This week we played Twilidiot's Tuesday Twilight Trivia on Twitter on the blog via a submission form. Since there was no immediate feedback via Twitter, here are the answers with the correct questions at the bottom in case you haven't seen the questions and would like a chance to challenge yourself.

Complete this line, with ending punctuation, of Jacob’s line from the New Moon film: “It’s totally stupid and reckless. ___ ___ __ _____ _”

When the Rob Pattinson "Never Think" graphic was used during Twilidiot's Tuesday Twilight Trivia on Twitter, players were asked to comment first in a clever way and then to as it what might be. One of my favorites was by @JonasEclipse:

Bella's heartbeat when she thought Edward was almost giving in during Eclipse.

I've always thought Bella had an undiagnosed heart condition the way it skips beats and splutters, but in reality it's probably just a sinus arrhythmia which is common in young people when their breathing rapidly changes. That would like this:

Every Tuesday is Twilidiot's Twilight Trivia on Twitter! Usually, questions are tweeted and correct replies are given points in the order received. There's a grand prize for the highest cumulative points from 7-9p MT and PIRATE RULES founds for crazy instant wins.

For May 3, I did something a little different. Players listened to a mash-up of The Twilight Saga film scores and soundtracks and tried to identify them. Here's the video in case you would like to test your knowledge. Answers are below.

Pretty pictures in the video are from my trip to Portland including Twilight filming locations Oxbow Park, The Viewpoint Inn and vistas of the Columbia River Gorge.

READY FOR THE ANSWERS?

1. Eclipse, final scene in the meadow and into the credits, Metric, "Eclipse (All Yours)"

2. Eclipse, cafeteria scene where Jessica is writing her speech, Bombay Bicycle Club, "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep"

3. Eclipse, Edward and Bella on her bed: "You'll always be my Bella," Band of Horses, "Life on Earth"

Even if you don't win, the game is fun to play!

PIRATE RULES ROUNDS:

The more tweople actively playing, the more we have Pirate Rules Rounds. In these instant win rounds, it could be first correct reply, third correct reply or wittiest tweet. Sometimes everyone gets to play; sometimes it's just those who have no points on the board. I'm a pirate and I'm not telling. Like Cap'ns Jack Sparrow and Sam Bellamy, I answer to no authority during these rounds. But if ye not be liking your cap'n, then ye can vote 'er off (i.e. the dreaded and inconceivable "unfollow") so she be likely to split the loot fairly.

Still reading? You clearly have OCD (Obsessive Cullen Disorder) and shall be rewarded. Hint: You might want to check out at least the Vampires Suck trailer and The Twilight Saga: New Moon film credits. #justsaying

@twilidiot Well, once upon a time, a little sprite-like girl was in love with a color blind empath, who enjoyed 80's throw back fashion. He just didn't realize that leg-warmers were for your LEGs, not your arms. Alice loved him so damn much, that she didn't want to break his heart and not wear the gift. As for the smock, she foresaw that he was going to have an "accident" with Mr Berty after 5th period and she didn't want to get blood stains on anything cute.

@twilidiot i wonder if this outfit will make my skin a little bit warmer

@twilidiot The smock was because she was painting Jasper in body paint and didn't want to get any on her...the gloves are to cover the fact she has chaffed hands because glitter peens are rough, and Her neck is hidden cuz Jasper still likes to bite!!
